Description 

A great climb up a widening crack. Begin with a hand size crack that widens to offwidth and then to chimney. The crux comes in the first 30ft but runnouts in the chimney keep things interesting. Top out on Jello tower.


Location 

Climb up a trail on the west side of the parking lot that leads up to upper castle rock and logger's ledge. The route goes up the wide crack/chimney that separates the main wall from Jello Tower on its west side.


Protection 

Cams to #4 camalot but don't forget the small gear for placements in the chimney.

Closer to a 100' to the chains atop Jello Tower but you can rap from them down the other side with a 50m rope.
